One more thought, the expanded board is very power hungry when the LCD is on it. The LCD can be removed without causing any problem to the functionality of the...
Dan, I don't know why it works but, as far as I can tell, the problems of the program crashing IC in a more or less permanent way seem to have gone away as a...
Hi Folks, I wonder if anyone can help me with this problem. I have completed my Sumo11 and built the expansion board. I have now got the Firmware and Libraries...
The problem has been resolved with lots of help from Dan Gates - thanks Dan! All the indications were that the board was working correctly, it was simply that...

Dan, I downloaded IC 5, installed it, etc. I then downloaded the firmware and library. There is an error message that the library in use does not match the...
The current version of IC5 is 5.06. I personally do not have a SUMo11 to try it on, but it is working well for the Handyboard, the RCX, and the XBC. The only...
Sorry for the re-post, I am going to assume that you are using Windows 98. the Manual does not open ffrom the help in Win98, you can use the link in the...
Yeah, that message will happen anytime you download if the version in iclib.txt for the sumo11 doesn't match the version reported from firmware (They should...

Ok, yeah, this is my fault then. I didn't realize Dan had changed the version number (we left the RCX and HB firmware numbers the same since no changes to them...
Thanks again for the reply. I will make the change tomorrow and see how it goes. The program I was using was actually the functional test program that Dan...
The version issue was my mistake, I changed the firmare version to match the new GUI version. I did this before Kyle told me that they hadn't planned to make...
Dan, Thanks for the reply. Should I modify iclib.txt as given below and move forward with 5.06 or just sit back and wait? Either works for me, I'm not in a...

I was trying to find out how much you charge for J-connectors. I had to have some in hand today, so I didn't go through you and had to buy the two $6 packages...

Are there any routines to use the SPI in interactive C already present (but apparently undocumented)? Does anyone have some code I can steal for I2C in...
Ken, Check the Handyboard.com website and the Handyboard yahoo group, I've seen code that uses the SPI port as an I2C mod. Everything that works on the...

Ken, Yep, .icb's also work the same as on the HB. Though I think .icb's are being phased out with the new Interactive C versions, I read on one of the forums...
